Cool Support AG 100%, the election is over

It seems that we could hold the pros and cons on Anthony until he has at least coached a game. There are likely 15 areas that the AD considers for a head coach hire. Some carry more weight than others as everyone knows. Neil is not stupid. Give the process a break and come off the cliff's edge before I'm tempted to give the last nudge.

It's really a bummer that a scant vocal few of you are so totally childishly bummed out by this selection. You're treating this event like it's a Presidential Election.

I would love to see Neil's scorecard on some of the candidates who did not get the job. It may have been a tough decision and your choice might have been close. But I support his selection of Anthony Grant 100% now that Neil has made it.

Simple truth is, there is/was no "perfect hire", there rarely is and that typically only happens at the true blue bloods. Heck, not every fan of IU is on board with the hiring of Archie, some thought he wasn't seasoned enough or needed time in a P5 conference, they only would have been happy with Gregg Marshall or Brad Stevens. You can please all the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't please all the people all of the time.

To not support AG now is just pure arrogance and nothing more.

Read the definitive opinions presented as 'fact' in the posts to see this.

My experience in life has been to tune out the select few that think they have the corner of the market on truth / wisdom.

Maybe we can start a 'Not my Head Coach' thread for those who feel harmed by this choice.

I like the choice and look forward to an alum and former star coaching UD who has considerable relevant experience and looks at this as more a destination than stop over.

Radar's pro list is a superb listing of the the many attributes of Grant and support his selection; however, even though I do not agree with ud2's list of cons, his points are worthy of consideration as they reveal high expectations, which is a good thing.

This may dominate the board in the off season but perhaps we should defer a final verdict Until the future with some results as to record and recruiting and in the meantime support our new coach and our team.

I support him 100%, and he gets a free pass next year. Those who do not support him, there is a safe place about 50 mile south of Dayton.

And one person who doesn't support him goes to many of those games.

Dayton hires Anthony Grant has almost 300 posts and like BeckysTXA stated for one day we all had our opportunity to put in our 2-cents or as I like to call it voice our opinions. Of course, as the old saying goes, we all know what opinions are like! We had our favorite candidates and assumed we knew more than Neil Sullivan. I was told a long time ago that the word assume stands for making an a** out of u and me! When someone assumes something they usually make a decision without having any facts to back it up!

Neil Sullivan gathered all the facts with regard to all the candidates and chose Anthony Grant as the best candidate to lead us into the future and we need to rally behind him 100%. The first thing Anthony Grant and Neil Sullivan did on Thursday was to contact the recruits and current players to make them feel important and lift their self esteem because many felt that their whole world was crumbling down when Archie left! Like Anthony's high school coach, Shakey Rodriguez said, "by being a role model and doing things the right way he teaches kids to be men."

Lets support our former player and new coach and enjoy the ride together. I, for one, would like to repeat the exuberance that the UD fans showed when we took over the city of Memphis during the Elite 8 run and even go higher with Anthony!

Coach Grant has earned, deserves, and needs the open mind and loving support of the Flyer Faithful. He has it from me. He deserves at-least three seasons.

A free pass? No coach at UD should get a free pass. This is why we're in the A10

Personally, I wanted Pat Kelsey, but I was pretty sure the UMass debacle would probably keep him form serious consideration. I just happen to really like the guy and believe anybody that was that close to Skip Prosser as a player and a coach has some special qualities that you won't find in many coaches.

I am not in anyway disappointed with the Grant hire. He may be the closest thing we can find for someone that might very well consider this a destination job regardless of the amount of success we hope for him. He played here, he's 51, he's done the mid-major to P5 hop once before and found out it's not a leisure party with endless cash (he was fired).

We will persevere and prevail........

Thumbs up I wasn't thrilled

I was a little concerned with his wins/loss record and I thought he might be more of a NIT choice than the big winner. I have given his circumstances some consideration and do not believe he ever got the support from the administration and fans at Alabama that Archie received here.

He will get that support here and truly think it will make the difference. I am a believer.

AG will win, and it will be in a different way than what we are accustomed to. That should give this MB plenty of results to debate. It's going to be exciting in UD Arena just as it always has been. Can't wait.
